A 27th writer got lucky and strolled the last 350-odd yards. They were all told to dig around for a story, compose a poem, or simply report what they saw. Some hooked up with photographers and filmmakers. The first story about about a conflict at Blackheath is on the site now and others wil be published a mile at a time on weekdays from Thursday 14th March to Friday 19th April.

John Simmons who wrote it has coached me in my writing and gave me confidence in my ability to do what i do for a living. He's also run at least one marathon that I know of.
